Home in time for...Christmas and New Years..!

Now it’s time to catch up with what has been happening since I got home from Argentina just a couple weeks ago. I came home in time to celebrate Christmas with the family. Everyone came over to my parents place and we enjoyed watching the children open all their presents (and of course receiving presents ourselves). After eating everyone headed out… and I spent the rest of the night home alone. Of course, I took advantage of that and made phone calls to Argentina J...!

You may be wondering where my parents went on Christmas Day… well they travelled to Utah to visit my brother Jeremy and his family… especially the newest member of the family. Daniel Israel was born on December 21st. Maria had the shortest labor yet (though she is usually in labor a LONG time) and Jeremy ended up delivering his son.

That makes 12 nieces and nephews in total… my family keeps on growing..! God has definitely blessed me with a wonderful family. I am truly blessed..!

New Years Eve I spent with the young adults from Church. We had a progressive dinner so of course we ate until stuffed and enjoyed one another’s company. I was home before midnight to follow my semi-regular tradition of starting the New Year reading the Bible. More to come on that later..!
